Drop `wire::write` and replace `encode_msg!` macro

Now that we consistently use `wire::Message` everywhere, it's easier to
simply use `Message::write`/`Type::write` instead of heaving yet another
`wire::write` around. Here we drop `wire::write`, replace the
`encode_msg` macro with a method that takes `wire::Message`, and convert
a bunch of additional places to move semantics.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine internal code cleanup in the Lightning Dev Kit's message serialization layer. It removes an old helper function (`wire::write`) and a macro (`encode_msg!`), replacing them with direct calls to `Message::write`/`Type::write`. The change does not alter the wire format or add any new behavior; it is purely a refactoring to simplify the code.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal code-review/merge for a refactoring change.
